Banned militant outfit Kangleipak Communist Party (People’s War Group), in an email circulated to local media houses here, has claimed responsibility for Friday night’s powerful bomb blast at a fair.
At least 10 people were injured, two of them critically, when unidentified miscreants hurled a hand grenade at Tera Loukram Leirak area in Imphal West district, police said.
In the email, the outfit expressed “satisfaction” over the incident and warned the local people against participation in fairs and carnivals.
A woman and a child were injured and their condition was critical, said a doctor of the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital here. In the past, too, the outfit had issued similar warnings.
